About Us

We are the representative and distribution company which mainly concentrates on the Baltic states – Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and now by the demand of our partners, we started to expand our representation to other Eastern European and CIS countries. We have >15 years experience working on production, import-export business, with quality systems (TQM, LEANS, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, etc)

We work as agents/representatives/distributors of foreign companies which want to sell or to buy the goods in these countries and look for high quality service with lower cost than to have their own full-time employee on-site. The company does not make big initial investment to get maximum information about market, players, condition, prices, etc. So it gets vitally important information about the market and can start immediately to make the decisions about their activities and to start sales/purchase on the lowest possible costs.

We work either as off-site export department on these markets or as off-site purchase department.

find the best producers, negotiate for the price, monitor quality of produced goods on constant base, make trainings for local producers, inspect the usage of raw materials, finding the best logistics solutions

The foreign companies get high quality service with local countries particuliarities and knowledge in the shortest way and with cost normally much lower than they would have by establishing their own office with their own employees.

Our main areas of current acivities – textile sales and production( (sowed item, cut&sewing), furniture production and distribution, matrass/bedding production, building industry, food processing and distribution, retail and wholesale sectors.

Distribution

We try to penetrate into the local markets as much as it is possible. We think that all the customers are important, as you never know when a small customer will become a big one, and you need to be as close as you can and help to do it.
